Facebook takes over Google in surfing time
It has been revealed that people now spend more time on Facebook than searching on Google, which was once the most used site. In fact, one of every ten internet minutes of netizens is spend on Facebook.
The report comes from ComScore. It revealed that till last August users spent below five percent of their time on Facebook, which now has grown to 9.9 percent. This translates to 41.1 million minutes spent on Facebook in the month of August this year by the users.
Facebook leads the pack in terms of being the most used site with most minutes spent on it. Google and related searches like Google news and YouTube come at a close second while Yahoo gains the third spot.
Facebook has experienced success in a short span of time. Started in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook currently has millions of users worldwide.

I am pretty confused (even worried a bit) seeing serious online marketers so happy for FB. Why? Please feel free to read my blog "Who is DEVASTATING the PageRank of Your website?" for the answer.

This should be surprising but considering The speed at which Facebook Hyper Traffic was completely sold out this fact explains it. Use Facebook to promote your business it works

That's it! While Google let's you do what you want Facebook make you do What you think you want! As the biggest social network Facebook will surely make much much more effects on everyday life and so on.

You are right Babu, me myself have inclined to use more of FB of late, nowadays I hardly go to google for searches as compared to a year or so ago,of course Face book in my opinion will never be able to overtake google in users usage, many of my online contacts are now spending hours in Face book, but Google still holds reins in search engine

Its a really interesting fact - however when people are looking to buy something or get something or find information they Google it they don't as yet Facebook it. Both organizations are trying to become more like the other and its going to be interesting to see how that plays out. Don;t be surprised if new players arrive on the scene that put both of these major players in the shade
